Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Your journey with Tiare starts when you arrived at the airport where our crew will welcome you upon arrival. On your disembarkation day, you will be transferred back to the airport to say our goodbyes.

 

 

Day 1: Embarkation at Ambon. Check dive at Laha, which is one of the best muck dives in the world.

Day 2 -11: 3-4 dives per day, including night dive where possible

Day 12: Disembarkation at Sorong.

 

Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so.

The last dive will be on the penultimate day of the trip at around 4 pm. Divers are recommended to wait for 24hours before flying after the last dive.

 

Dive Areas:

Cape Kri. If you want to see large fish and to be enveloped by fish then roll in here, both desires will soon be satisfied.  Groupers, sharks, snappers, Napoleon wrasse, barracuda, dogtooth tuna, trevallies. They are all here in numbers.
Cape Kri is a great place to spot wobbegongs, the curious carpet shark, but you should also admire gorgonian fans to look for pygmy seahorses grasping its branches.

Misol Island. Is located in the southern part of the Raja Ampat area and is home to an astonishingly colorful reef-scene. Soft corals dress up slopes, walls and canyons in a colorful palette No big schools here but cuttlefish, pipefish, Indian lionfish, nudibranchs, soft corals and critters. Unmissable by night.

The Jef Fam Group. Is in the central region of Raja Ampat, so it’s quite probable that you’ll visit it whether we are joining a southern or northern cruise route. It’s quite a large area with some impressive cabbage corals, sheet corals and mushroom corals What makes Jef Fam special is its diversity of marine encounters and is the best place to find wobbegongs. You can also see huge giant clams, Spanish mackerel, great barracuda and manta rays.

Manta Ridge. Is one of the best dive spots in Raja Ampat to regularly see mantas in impressive numbers, it is a popular central site, thanks to a cleaning station which delivers some awesome manta ray action to the few lucky enough to be there. At current, you may have to hook into place before enjoying the show which includes some black mantas, bumphead, parrotfish and turtles all unconcerned by the audience.

Your memories of diving in Raja Ampat will stay with you forever.

One of Tiare value is team work, therefore we request guests to give tip for the whole crews and not give individual tip.
The reason is, there are only few numbers of crew who involved in serving the guests directly like the chef, cruise directors, dive guides, & stewards. But actually behind the screen the whole crews are involved in making your trip smoothly. These “invisible“ team include:
– engineer who regularly check the machine and fill your tanks as well make sure each part of the boat work properly,
– deck officers who take turn drive the boat including during night shift,
– dinghy boys who waiting for you under the sun while you are underwater.
They also make sure the whole boats and dinghies are clean during your trip.
The only time you can see all of them work together is when they carry guests diving equipment from the boat to the dinghies and vice versa.

Dive Areas:

Cape Kri. If you want to see large fish and to be enveloped by fish then roll in here, both desires will soon be satisfied.  Groupers, sharks, snappers, Napoleon wrasse, barracuda, dogtooth tuna, trevallies. They are all here in numbers.
Cape Kri is a great place to spot wobbegongs, the curious carpet shark, but you should also admire gorgonian fans to look for pygmy seahorses grasping its branches.

Misol Island. Is located in the southern part of the Raja Ampat area and is home to an astonishingly colorful reef-scene. Soft corals dress up slopes, walls and canyons in a colorful palette No big schools here but cuttlefish, pipefish, Indian lionfish, nudibranchs, soft corals and critters. Unmissable by night.

The Jef Fam Group. Is in the central region of Raja Ampat, so it’s quite probable that you’ll visit it whether we are joining a southern or northern cruise route. It’s quite a large area with some impressive cabbage corals, sheet corals and mushroom corals What makes Jef Fam special is its diversity of marine encounters and is the best place to find wobbegongs. You can also see huge giant clams, Spanish mackerel, great barracuda and manta rays.

Manta Ridge. Is one of the best dive spots in Raja Ampat to regularly see mantas in impressive numbers, it is a popular central site, thanks to a cleaning station which delivers some awesome manta ray action to the few lucky enough to be there. At current, you may have to hook into place before enjoying the show which includes some black mantas, bumphead, parrotfish and turtles all unconcerned by the audience.

Your memories of diving in Raja Ampat will stay with you forever.

There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.

There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.

There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.

There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 3: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 4: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 5: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

  

Day 6: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Dive Areas:

Cape Kri. If you want to see large fish and to be enveloped by fish then roll in here, both desires will soon be satisfied.  Groupers, sharks, snappers, Napoleon wrasse, barracuda, dogtooth tuna, trevallies. They are all here in numbers.
Cape Kri is a great place to spot wobbegongs, the curious carpet shark, but you should also admire gorgonian fans to look for pygmy seahorses grasping its branches.

Misol Island. Is located in the southern part of the Raja Ampat area and is home to an astonishingly colorful reef-scene. Soft corals dress up slopes, walls and canyons in a colorful palette No big schools here but cuttlefish, pipefish, Indian lionfish, nudibranchs, soft corals and critters. Unmissable by night.

The Jef Fam Group. Is in the central region of Raja Ampat, so it’s quite probable that you’ll visit it whether we are joining a southern or northern cruise route. It’s quite a large area with some impressive cabbage corals, sheet corals and mushroom corals What makes Jef Fam special is its diversity of marine encounters and is the best place to find wobbegongs. You can also see huge giant clams, Spanish mackerel, great barracuda and manta rays.

Manta Ridge. Is one of the best dive spots in Raja Ampat to regularly see mantas in impressive numbers, it is a popular central site, thanks to a cleaning station which delivers some awesome manta ray action to the few lucky enough to be there. At current, you may have to hook into place before enjoying the show which includes some black mantas, bumphead, parrotfish and turtles all unconcerned by the audience.

Your memories of diving in Raja Ampat will stay with you forever.

Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 3: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 4: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 5: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 6: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 7: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 8: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas.

Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.

There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Your journey with Tiare starts when you arrived at the airport where our crew will welcome you upon arrival. On your disembarkation day, you will be transferred back to the airport to say our goodbyes.

 

Day 1: Maumere – Embarkation. Check Dive.

Day 2-11: We offer 3-4 dives daily, including a night dive, if possible. When crossing, only 2 dives a day can be scheduled.

Day 12: After breakfast on board, it’s time to check out and leave the Tiaré behind. Departing from Labuan Bajo.

The remote and unspoiled islands of Adunara, Lembata, Pantar, and Alor are East of Flores.

They are probably one of Indonesia’s best-kept diving secrets. From incredible muck dive sites to impressive walls, crystal clear water to black volcanic sand sites, into stronger currents with thousands of reef fish. The Indonesian government has recently agreed to protect the area in order to secure a safe route for migrating cetaceans which pass through the straits on their migration to the feeding grounds in the deep waters of the Banda Sea.

 

About the diving:

Adunara Island: Eastern Flores has some famous dive sites such as Magic Log where ribbon eels and frogfish are common. The very rare weedy scorpionfish (Rhinopias) has been found here, as has the Wonderpus octopus. There is still a lot of unchartered territories to discover in this region.

 

Lembata Island: Is also well worth diving exploration. Schools of fusiliers, angelfish and many different parrotfish species are common. Gorgonian sea fans, host pygmy seahorses. Surrounding seas of Lamalera could also hold cetacean surprises.

 

Alor: Dive spot-names like “The Bullet” give some hints on what diving in Alor is like: Big stuff and currents, which are sometimes so strong that you have to pay attention. But do not worry, our divemasters know how to adjust the diving to the abilities of their groups. Don’t forget, we also provide the Enos transmitter for your localization in the unlikely case you miss the group!

As the direction and intensity of the currents change quite often, you may have had a relaxing dive in the morning and find the same spot in the afternoon resembling a washing machine.

The strait between Pantar and Alor acts like a gigantic jet propelling waters from the Flores Sea in the north to the Savu Sea in the south. You will only find similar conditions around Komodo.

 

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a Rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for its macro life, but there is also an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters, and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Dive Areas: Castle Rock, Crystal Rock, Karang Makassar (Manta, Manta, Manta), Cannibal Rock, The Cauldron, The Shot Gun, Cannibal Rock, more than 40 diving sites.

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 3: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 4: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 5: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 6: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 7: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 8: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Days 2: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 3: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 4: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 5: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 6: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 7: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 8: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.

Your journey with Tiare starts when you arrived at the airport where our crew will welcome you upon arrival. On your disembarkation day, you will be transferred back to the airport to say our goodbyes.

  

Day 1: Embarkation at Sorong. Check dive at Laha, which is one of the best muck dives in the world.

Day 2 -11: 3-4 dives per day, including night dive where possible

Day 12: Disembarkation at Ambon.

 

Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so.

The last dive will be on the penultimate day of the trip at around 4 pm. Divers are recommended to wait for 24hours before flying after the last dive.

 

Dive Areas:

Cape Kri. If you want to see large fish and to be enveloped by fish then roll in here, both desires will soon be satisfied.  Groupers, sharks, snappers, Napoleon wrasse, barracuda, dogtooth tuna, trevallies. They are all here in numbers.
Cape Kri is a great place to spot wobbegongs, the curious carpet shark, but you should also admire gorgonian fans to look for pygmy seahorses grasping its branches.

Misol Island. Is located in the southern part of the Raja Ampat area and is home to an astonishingly colorful reef-scene. Soft corals dress up slopes, walls and canyons in a colorful palette No big schools here but cuttlefish, pipefish, Indian lionfish, nudibranchs, soft corals and critters. Unmissable by night.

The Jef Fam Group. Is in the central region of Raja Ampat, so it’s quite probable that you’ll visit it whether we are joining a southern or northern cruise route. It’s quite a large area with some impressive cabbage corals, sheet corals and mushroom corals What makes Jef Fam special is its diversity of marine encounters and is the best place to find wobbegongs. You can also see huge giant clams, Spanish mackerel, great barracuda and manta rays.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Your journey with Tiare starts when you arrived at the airport where our crew will welcome you upon arrival. On your disembarkation day, you will be transferred back to the airport to say our goodbyes.

 

Day 1: Maumere – Embarkation. Check Dive.

Day 2-11: We offer 3-4 dives daily, including a night dive, if possible. When crossing, only 2 dives a day can be scheduled.

Day 12: After breakfast on board, it’s time to check out and leave the Tiaré behind. Departing from Labuan Bajo.

The remote and unspoiled islands of Adunara, Lembata, Pantar, and Alor are East of Flores.

They are probably one of Indonesia’s best-kept diving secrets. From incredible muck dive sites to impressive walls, crystal clear water to black volcanic sand sites, into stronger currents with thousands of reef fish. The Indonesian government has recently agreed to protect the area in order to secure a safe route for migrating cetaceans which pass through the straits on their migration to the feeding grounds in the deep waters of the Banda Sea.

 

About the diving:

Adunara Island: Eastern Flores has some famous dive sites such as Magic Log where ribbon eels and frogfish are common. The very rare weedy scorpionfish (Rhinopias) has been found here, as has the Wonderpus octopus. There is still a lot of unchartered territories to discover in this region.

 

Lembata Island: Is also well worth diving exploration. Schools of fusiliers, angelfish and many different parrotfish species are common. Gorgonian sea fans, host pygmy seahorses. Surrounding seas of Lamalera could also hold cetacean surprises.

 

Alor: Dive spot-names like “The Bullet” give some hints on what diving in Alor is like: Big stuff and currents, which are sometimes so strong that you have to pay attention. But do not worry, our divemasters know how to adjust the diving to the abilities of their groups. Don’t forget, we also provide the Enos transmitter for your localization in the unlikely case you miss the group!

As the direction and intensity of the currents change quite often, you may have had a relaxing dive in the morning and find the same spot in the afternoon resembling a washing machine.

The strait between Pantar and Alor acts like a gigantic jet propelling waters from the Flores Sea in the north to the Savu Sea in the south. You will only find similar conditions around Komodo.

 

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a Rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for its macro life, but there is also an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters, and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Dive Areas: Castle Rock, Crystal Rock, Karang Makassar (Manta, Manta, Manta), Cannibal Rock, The Cauldron, The Shot Gun, Cannibal Rock, more than 40 diving sites.

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Cape Kri. If you want to see large fish and to be enveloped by fish then roll in here, both desires will soon be satisfied.  Groupers, sharks, snappers, Napoleon wrasse, barracuda, dogtooth tuna, trevallies. They are all here in numbers.
Cape Kri is a great place to spot wobbegongs, the curious carpet shark, but you should also admire gorgonian fans to look for pygmy seahorses grasping its branches.

Misol Island. Is located in the southern part of the Raja Ampat area and is home to an astonishingly colorful reef-scene. Soft corals dress up slopes, walls and canyons in a colorful palette No big schools here but cuttlefish, pipefish, Indian lionfish, nudibranchs, soft corals and critters. Unmissable by night.

The Jef Fam Group. Is in the central region of Raja Ampat, so it’s quite probable that you’ll visit it whether we are joining a southern or northern cruise route. It’s quite a large area with some impressive cabbage corals, sheet corals and mushroom corals What makes Jef Fam special is its diversity of marine encounters and is the best place to find wobbegongs. You can also see huge giant clams, Spanish mackerel, great barracuda and manta rays.

Manta Ridge. Is one of the best dive spots in Raja Ampat to regularly see mantas in impressive numbers, it is a popular central site, thanks to a cleaning station which delivers some awesome manta ray action to the few lucky enough to be there. At current, you may have to hook into place before enjoying the show which includes some black mantas, bumphead, parrotfish and turtles all unconcerned by the audience.

Your memories of diving in Raja Ampat will stay with you forever.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré in Bali, you will enjoy a tour of the boat and settle in with breakfast on the boat. Sailing to Sabolan Kecil, you will have an afternoon dive before moving on to Sebayur Island for a night dive at the mini wall.

 

Day 2: 4 dive day off Gili Banta, an island between Sumbawa and Komodo. In the morning, you’ll dive GPS point, Highway to Heaven, and Small World. GPS Point and Highway to Heaven are challenging dives as currents can be strong, but the payoff is the possibility of seeing sharks, schools of barracuda, dogtooth tuna, and more larger predators. Small World is a more sheltered dive where you might find stargazers buried in the soft sand. After lunch, head underwater again for a beautiful drift dive at Golden Passage followed by a night dive off Gili Lawa Laut or choose to take a short trek to the highest point on Gili Lawa Laut for a wonderful view over the Komodo-Flores channel.

 

Day 3: You will dive some challenging sites off Gili Lawa Laut. Crystal Rock (named for the rock jutting out from crystal blue water) and Castle Rock both boast a wide variety of very healthy corals and an impressive array of marine life. Cauldron (sometimes called Shotgun) and Gili Lawa Laut Lighthouse are two of the other thrilling dives in this area and can be dived in the evening or at night. Here, you might see crocodile fish, lionfish, sometimes eagle rays and reef sharks and even manta rays. Between dives, you’ll have the chance to trek to the highest point of Gili Lawa Laut to see the gorgeous views over the Komodo-Flores channel if you didn’t do it the day before.

 

Day 4: Today, you’ll be diving off Komodo Island where currents can be quite strong. Dives must be timed in accordance with tides and weather conditions so there are a number of dive sites you may visit. Takat Makassar Reef, Batu Bolong, and Tatawa Kecil are all stunning dives with soft and hard corals. You’ll have the chance to see white and blacktip reef sharks, manta rays, turtles, giant trevally, snapper in various environments, from shallow reefs to canyons and caves. Dive at night at the mini wall at Pulau Sebayur where you should Look for leaffish, ghost pipefish, and nudibranchs.

 

Day 5: Get up early and dive at Sebayur Besar and then Batu Tengah. Batu Tengah is right in the middle of the Komodo National Park and slopes into a stunning coral garden. Divers often see turtles, cuttlefish, white tip reef sharks and large groups of Napoleon wrasse and snapper here. In the afternoon, the outgoing group visit island of Rinca to meet Komodo dragons up close and personal, while the group staying for the longer cruise carry on to a night dive in Wainilu. This dive is situated off northern Rinca. In the shallows, hard corals house juvenile harlequin sweetlips and batfish, while starry night octopus, moray eels, and demon stingers live in the soft corals of the sandy slope.

 

Day 6: Wake up to the beautiful sights of the straits between the islands of Komodo and Rinca. You will dive here at the stunning Manta Reef (Karang Makassar) and the spectacular Batu Bolong, where you will see an incredible amount of coral and tropical fish. Rest and have lunch on board before an afternoon dive at Three Sisters; 3 underwater ridges with massive steps, and towers of stone, caves, and overhangs covered in soft corals. Expect to see nudibranchs, frogfish and larger marine life like reef sharks and Bumphead parrotfish. Your third dive of the day will be a night dive in Padar. Water temperatures at these sites can drop to around 20°c, so be prepared for the possibility of chillier dives. You might also notice the water is greener here than in other areas. However, this means there are far more nutrients in the water, which in turn means incredible biodiversity!

 

Day 7: 4 dives off Nusa Kode Island, where you’ll see some of the most incredible marine creatures in the archipelago. During the day, you’ll dive at Cannibal Rock, which has often been listed as one of the top 10 dive sites in the world! With its sand slopes, rocky areas and a plateau covered in marine life, you can expect to see hard and soft corals, sponges, tube anemones, and a huge variety of nudibranchs. Yellow Wall at the southern entrance to Horseshoe Bay is your next stop, where you will see the yellow and orange corals that give the site its name. This drift dive allows you to slowly take in all the ladybugs and nudibranchs covering the wall. Entering into the bay Boulders is home to resting rays and sometimes even hiding nurse sharks. Head back to Tiaré for a rest before a shallow night dive in Torpedo Bay (sometimes called Torpedo Alley). This site is named after the torpedo rays that are found here. You can also expect seahorses, coconut octopus, squid, and the odd Bobbit worm burrowed into the volcanic black sand.

 

Day 8: Another 4 incredible dives in store for you: weather permitting of course. This morning you’ll be south of Komodo Island at Manta Alley and German Flag. Manta Alley is in Tora Langkoi Bay and is the most popular dive for spotting the majestic manta rays. There is also a possibility of spotting mantas at German Flag, as well as Malabar groupers, schools of potato cod, red snapper, surgeonfish. In the afternoon, you will dive Tanjung Lehoksera or Batu Gajah depending on the weather conditions. At night, discover the wreck of a 100-foot wooden Pinisi boat.

 

Day 9: Dives at Pulau Hantu and Pantai Merah (Pink Beach) off of Komodo Island. Pink Beach is famous for not only its beautiful pink sand but its mini wall in the middle of the reef where the crevices make the perfect home for glassfish, nudibranchs, frogfish, crocodile fish and scorpionfish. In the sandier area, opposite the wall juvenile harlequin sweetlips and mandarin fish life.

 

Day 10: 3 more dives off of Komodo Island.

 

Day 11: 2 dives in the morning depending on guest flight schedules. After so many amazing dives, it’s time to meet the magnificent Komodo dragons on their own turf. Tour the island before heading back to the boat and sailing overnight to Labuan Bajo

 

Day 12: Unfortunately, our trip has come to an end and we have to say goodbye, but we hope to see you again soon!

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

Forgotten Islands & Banda Sea

Is one of our more remote destinations where time seems to stand still.

The Forgotten islands are part of the Maluku Tenggara which  is a 1.000 km chain of archipelagos running from East Timor to Western Papua. Undeveloped, distant from population centers and far off any beaten path, these “Forgotten Islands” have been largely isolated from the rest of the world. If you don’t like to run into any other liveaboard cruise you  could  imagine yourself as the only person in the world on one of old trade ships. Then this is the route for you. We will be diving some unexplored reefs. But also visit an area  where we have spotted hammerhead schooling. Ever seen an active volcano? We can guarantee you an explosion. We like to hang around for the sun to set, so we can see the red hot lava roll down the slope into the water.

We plan four expeditions each year in November/April. One itinerary starts in Maumere (Flores) and ends in Saumlaki, in the Tanimbar Islands, and another trip returns along the same or a similar route. Detailed itineraries in this area may be subject to change according to weather and diving conditions and other factors.

Forgotten Islands & Banda Sea 

Is one of our more remote destinations where time seems to stand still.

 

Day 1: Embarkation at Saumlaki. Check dive at Saumlaki, which is one of the best muck dives in the world.

Day 2 -11: 3-4 dives per day, including night dive where possible

Dive Sites: Laha, Nusa Laut, Suanggi, Banda Neira, Banda Islands

Day 12: Disembarkation at Ambon

 

The Forgotten Islands are part of the Maluku Tenggara which is a 1.000 km chain of archipelagos running from East Timor to Western Papua. Undeveloped, distant from population centers and far off any beaten path, these “Forgotten Islands” have been largely isolated from the rest of the world. If you don’t like to run into any other liveaboard cruise you could imagine yourself as the only person in the world on one of old trade ships. Then this is the route for you. We will be diving some unexplored reefs. But also visit an area where we have spotted hammerhead schooling. Ever seen an active volcano? We can guarantee you an explosion. We like to hang around for the sun to set, so we can see the red hot lava roll down the slope into the water.

 

Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so.

The last dive will be on the penultimate day of the trip at around 4 pm. Divers are recommended to wait for 24hours before flying after the last dive.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.

There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 8: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

Day 1: Embarkation in Sorong around 12 PM. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’. In an archipelago of over 1,500 small islands, there are four main islands or ‘kings’– Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool. The majority of Raja Ampat is a Marine Protected Area. These islands usually experience varying visibility depending on the weather conditions and warm water around 27-30C (81-86F).

 

Day 2-5: Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef.

In this area, you also may have the opportunity to take a ride to a pearl farm and also explore caves and rock formations.

 

Day 6: 30 miles south of Misool is a beautiful archipelago where we’ll dive off of Pulau Koon or Pulau Pisang. The corals are extremely healthy in this remote area and are full of life. You’ll see giant elephant ears, swirling schools of a wide variety of fish, mantas, and turtles.

 

Day 7: Take a trip on land in the morning to an incredible waterfall and enjoy the stunning above-water scenery. There will be plenty of photo opportunities, so don’t forget your camera! In the afternoon take a relaxing dive near Momon Bay.

 

Day 8: Triton Bay is the next stop and is one of the most spectacular dives, you’ll experience in Raja Ampat. The diversity of the coral and marine life is heaven for divers and, thanks to very little fishing in this area, are healthy and plentiful. Your first dive here will be at 7th Heaven where you will probably see giant trevallies, barracuda, giant turtles, grunts, and even mantas and walking sharks.

GT Rock, which is named after the multitude of giant trevallies found there is a beautiful dive as well. Swim with the hundreds of grunts, red snappers, huge sweet lips and tuna that feed around the rock.

 

Day 9: Still, in Triton Bay, we’ll continue to discover how extraordinary the area’s biodiversity really is. Larry’s Heaven honors the legendary Larry Smith, who spent years diving and studying the marine creatures of Indonesia. His very last dive was in this area, which boasts the world record for having the most different species in one area. Fields of black coral are home to such densely packed biodiversity you may think you’re in the middle of an incredible dream. Wrass, gobies, grouper, bump heads, turtles, and millions of Fusiliers will surround you as you glide through the water…and that’s just the beginning of the list.

 

Day 10-11: Spend 2 days diving around Aiduma, Orembate, and Faukate (Lauzaro). These are incredible sites for searching for macro species and are especially exciting for dive photographers. You’ll find an incredible variety of reef fish, including schools of large blue-ring angelfish, clownfish, striped angelfish and lionfish. You might also spot dolphins enjoying leaping and dancing through the waves.

 

Day 12: After a last breakfast and goodbyes with the crew, it’s time to disembark in Kaimana.

All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: Embarkation in Kaimana around 12 PM. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’. In an archipelago of over 1,500 small islands, there are four main islands or ‘kings’– Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool. The majority of Raja Ampat is a Marine Protected Area. These islands usually experience varying visibility depending on the weather conditions and warm water around 27-30C (81-86F).

 

Day 2-5: Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between! In this area, you also may have the opportunity to take a ride to a pearl farm and also explore caves and rock formations.

 

Day 6: 30 miles south of Misool is a beautiful archipelago where we’ll dive off of Pulau Koon or Pulau Pisang. The corals are extremely healthy in this remote area and are full of life. You’ll see giant elephant ears, swirling schools of a wide variety of fish, mantas, and turtles.

 

Day 7: Take a trip on land in the morning to an incredible waterfall and enjoy the stunning above-water scenery. There will be plenty of photo opportunities, so don’t forget your camera! In the afternoon take a relaxing dive near Momon Bay.

 

Day 8: Triton Bay is the next stop and is one of the most spectacular dives, you’ll experience in Raja Ampat. The diversity of the coral and marine life is heaven for divers and, thanks to very little fishing in this area, are healthy and plentiful. Your first dive here will be at 7th Heaven where you will probably see giant trevallies, barracuda, giant turtles, grunts, and even mantas and walking sharks.

GT Rock, which is named after the multitude of giant trevallies found there is a beautiful dive as well. Swim with the hundreds of grunts, red snappers, huge sweet lips and tuna that feed around the rock.

 

Day 9: Still, in Triton Bay, we’ll continue to discover how extraordinary the area’s biodiversity really is. Larry’s Heaven honors the legendary Larry Smith, who spent years diving and studying the marine creatures of Indonesia. His very last dive was in this area, which boasts the world record for having the most different species in one area. Fields of black coral are home to such densely packed biodiversity you may think you’re in the middle of an incredible dream. Wrass, gobies, grouper, bump heads, turtles, and millions of Fusiliers will surround you as you glide through the water…and that’s just the beginning of the list.

 

Day 10-11: Spend 2 days diving around Aiduma, Orembate, and Faukate (Lauzaro). These are incredible sites for searching for macro species and are especially exciting for dive photographers. You’ll find an incredible variety of reef fish, including schools of large blue-ring angelfish, clownfish, striped angelfish and lionfish. You might also spot dolphins enjoying leaping and dancing through the waves.

 

Day 12: After a last breakfast and goodbyes with the crew, it’s time to disembark in Sorong.

Note: The itinerary is subject to variation depending on weather conditions, flight schedules or any other variables.

Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré in Bali, you will enjoy a tour of the boat and settle in with breakfast on the boat. Sailing to Sabolan Kecil, you will have an afternoon dive before moving on to Sebayur Island for a night dive at the mini wall.

 

Day 2: 4 dive day off Gili Banta, an island between Sumbawa and Komodo. In the morning, you’ll dive GPS point, Highway to Heaven, and Small World. GPS Point and Highway to Heaven are challenging dives as currents can be strong, but the payoff is the possibility of seeing sharks, schools of barracuda, dogtooth tuna, and more larger predators. Small World is a more sheltered dive where you might find stargazers buried in the soft sand. After lunch, head underwater again for a beautiful drift dive at Golden Passage followed by a night dive off Gili Lawa Laut or choose to take a short trek to the highest point on Gili Lawa Laut for a wonderful view over the Komodo-Flores channel.

 

Day 3: You will dive some challenging sites off Gili Lawa Laut. Crystal Rock (named for the rock jutting out from crystal blue water) and Castle Rock both boast a wide variety of very healthy corals and an impressive array of marine life. Cauldron (sometimes called Shotgun) and Gili Lawa Laut Lighthouse are two of the other thrilling dives in this area and can be dived in the evening or at night. Here, you might see crocodile fish, lionfish, sometimes eagle rays and reef sharks and even manta rays. Between dives, you’ll have the chance to trek to the highest point of Gili Lawa Laut to see the gorgeous views over the Komodo-Flores channel if you didn’t do it the day before.

 

Day 4: Today, you’ll be diving off Komodo Island where currents can be quite strong. Dives must be timed in accordance with tides and weather conditions so there are a number of dive sites you may visit. Takat Makassar Reef, Batu Bolong, and Tatawa Kecil are all stunning dives with soft and hard corals. You’ll have the chance to see white and blacktip reef sharks, manta rays, turtles, giant trevally, snapper in various environments, from shallow reefs to canyons and caves. Dive at night at the mini wall at Pulau Sebayur where you should Look for leaffish, ghost pipefish, and nudibranchs.

 

Day 5: Get up early and dive at Sebayur Besar and then Batu Tengah. Batu Tengah is right in the middle of the Komodo National Park and slopes into a stunning coral garden. Divers often see turtles, cuttlefish, white tip reef sharks and large groups of Napoleon wrasse and snapper here. In the afternoon, the outgoing group visit island of Rinca to meet Komodo dragons up close and personal, while the group staying for the longer cruise carry on to a night dive in Wainilu. This dive is situated off northern Rinca. In the shallows, hard corals house juvenile harlequin sweetlips and batfish, while starry night octopus, moray eels, and demon stingers live in the soft corals of the sandy slope.

 

Day 6: Wake up to the beautiful sights of the straits between the islands of Komodo and Rinca. You will dive here at the stunning Manta Reef (Karang Makassar) and the spectacular Batu Bolong, where you will see an incredible amount of coral and tropical fish. Rest and have lunch on board before an afternoon dive at Three Sisters; 3 underwater ridges with massive steps, and towers of stone, caves, and overhangs covered in soft corals. Expect to see nudibranchs, frogfish and larger marine life like reef sharks and Bumphead parrotfish. Your third dive of the day will be a night dive in Padar. Water temperatures at these sites can drop to around 20°c, so be prepared for the possibility of chillier dives. You might also notice the water is greener here than in other areas. However, this means there are far more nutrients in the water, which in turn means incredible biodiversity!

 

Day 7: 4 dives off Nusa Kode Island, where you’ll see some of the most incredible marine creatures in the archipelago. During the day, you’ll dive at Cannibal Rock, which has often been listed as one of the top 10 dive sites in the world! With its sand slopes, rocky areas and a plateau covered in marine life, you can expect to see hard and soft corals, sponges, tube anemones, and a huge variety of nudibranchs. Yellow Wall at the southern entrance to Horseshoe Bay is your next stop, where you will see the yellow and orange corals that give the site its name. This drift dive allows you to slowly take in all the ladybugs and nudibranchs covering the wall. Entering into the bay Boulders is home to resting rays and sometimes even hiding nurse sharks. Head back to Tiaré for a rest before a shallow night dive in Torpedo Bay (sometimes called Torpedo Alley). This site is named after the torpedo rays that are found here. You can also expect seahorses, coconut octopus, squid, and the odd Bobbit worm burrowed into the volcanic black sand.

 

Day 8: Another 4 incredible dives in store for you: weather permitting of course. This morning you’ll be south of Komodo Island at Manta Alley and German Flag. Manta Alley is in Tora Langkoi Bay and is the most popular dive for spotting the majestic manta rays. There is also a possibility of spotting mantas at German Flag, as well as Malabar groupers, schools of potato cod, red snapper, surgeonfish. In the afternoon, you will dive Tanjung Lehoksera or Batu Gajah depending on the weather conditions. At night, discover the wreck of a 100-foot wooden Pinisi boat.

 

Day 9: Dives at Pulau Hantu and Pantai Merah (Pink Beach) off of Komodo Island. Pink Beach is famous for not only its beautiful pink sand but its mini wall in the middle of the reef where the crevices make the perfect home for glassfish, nudibranchs, frogfish, crocodile fish and scorpionfish. In the sandier area, opposite the wall juvenile harlequin sweetlips and mandarin fish life.

 

Day 10: 3 more dives off of Komodo Island.

 

Day 11: 2 dives in the morning depending on guest flight schedules. After so many amazing dives, it’s time to meet the magnificent Komodo dragons on their own turf. Tour the island before heading back to the boat and sailing overnight to Labuan Bajo

 

Day 12: Unfortunately, our trip has come to an end and we have to say goodbye, but we hope to see you again soon!

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

The remote and unspoiled islands of  Adunara, Lembata, Pantar and Alor are East of Flores

They are probably one of Indonesia’s best-kept diving secrets. From incredible muck dive sites to impressive walls, crystal clear water to black volcanic sand sites, into stronger currents with thousands of reef fish. The Indonesian government has recently agreed to protect the area in order to secure a safe route for migrating cetaceans which pass through the straits on their migration to the feeding grounds in the deep waters of the Banda Sea.

 

Day 1: Embarkation at Maumere. Check dive at Maumere, which is one of the best muck dives in the world.

Day 2 -7: 3-4 dives per day, including night dive where possible

Day 8: Disembarkation at Maumere

 

Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so.

The last dive will be on the penultimate day of the trip at around 4 pm. Divers are recommended to wait for 24hours before flying after the last dive.

 

Dive Areas:

Adunara Island. Eastern Flores has some famous dive sites such as Magic Log where ribbon eels and frogfish are common. The very rare weedy scorpionfish (Rhinopias) has been found here, as has the wonderpus octopus. There is still a lot of unchartered territories to discover in this region.

Lembata Island. Is also well worth diving exploration. Schools of fusiliers, angelfish and many different parrotfish species are common. Gorgonian sea fans, host pygmy seahorses. Surrounding seas of Lamalera could also hold cetacean surprises.

Alor. Dive spot-names like “The Bullet” give some hints what diving in Alor is like Big staff and currents, which are sometimes so strong that you have to pay attention. But do not worry: our divemasters know how to adjust the diving to the abilities of their groups. Don’t forget we also provide the Enos transmitter for your localization in the unlikely case you miss the group!

As the direction and intensity of the currents change quite often, you may have had a relaxing dive in the morning and find the same spot in the afternoon resembling a washing machine.

The strait between Pantar and Alor acts like a gigantic jet propelling waters from the Flores Sea in the north to the Savu Sea in the south. You will only find similar conditions around Komodo.

 

More info:

Water temperature: 22-28°C. A 3mm shorty should be sufficient for Flores but it can cool down a lot in the Pantar strait; a 5mm shorty is advisable over a 3mm full suit.

Airport: Maumere (MAF). International flight to Jakarta or Bali and then domestic flight to Maumere.

Time zone: GMT +8.

Forgotten Islands & Banda Sea

Is one of our more remote destinations where time seems to stand still.

The Forgotten islands are part of the Maluku Tenggara which  is a 1.000 km chain of archipelagos running from East Timor to Western Papua. Undeveloped, distant from population centers and far off any beaten path, these “Forgotten Islands” have been largely isolated from the rest of the world. If you don’t like to run into any other liveaboard cruise you  could  imagine yourself as the only person in the world on one of old trade ships. Then this is the route for you. We will be diving some unexplored reefs. But also visit an area  where we have spotted hammerhead schooling. Ever seen an active volcano? We can guarantee you an explosion. We like to hang around for the sun to set, so we can see the red hot lava roll down the slope into the water.

We plan four expeditions each year in November/April. One itinerary starts in Maumere (Flores) and ends in Saumlaki, in the Tanimbar Islands, and another trip returns along the same or a similar route. Detailed itineraries in this area may be subject to change according to weather and diving conditions and other factors.

We like to hang around for the sun to set, so we can see the red hot lava roll down the slope into the water.

 

Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so.

The last dive will be on the penultimate day of the trip at around 4 pm. Divers are recommended to wait for 24hours before flying after the last dive.

Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.

There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2-5: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 6: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 7: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 11: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 8: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

 

Day 9: The first two dives of the day are at Manta Sandy, well-known to divers as it is one of the most consistent spots for finding congregating mantas. It is easy to spend a whole dive observing these majestic animals as they somersault through the water while being cleaned by several species of wrasse and even butterflyfish. They also come to feed on plankton carried along by the currents, so can be seen on the surface as well. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness the unforgettable sight of a ”manta train”, where half a dozen or more mantas glide around feeding. Your afternoon and night dives are at Arborek Jetty. In the shallows, the jetty posts are covered in soft corals and further down you’re likely to see pipefish and cuttlefish.

Watch local children jumping off the jetty and smiling for your cameras and even join in the fun! On the reef, giant clams nestle in the pulsing soft corals and at the search for blue ringed octopus, hermit crabs, skeleton shrimp, and flatworms. At night, you might even be able to hear toadfish croaking.

Between dives, you will have the chance to visit the village on Arborek Island to discover the very traditional way of life these island people live. Bring along some little presents like writing or coloring supplies or hair accessories for the kids of the village and you’ll see the light with smiles like you’ve never seen before.

 

Days 10-11: Dampier Strait

The Dampier Strait, located between Waigeo and Batanta Islands is known to have some of the most nutrient-rich and spectacular diving in Raja Ampat. The currents passing through the strait make for the perfect diving situation and you can expect to see incredible corals housing just about every species of fish as well as prized macro subjects like the recently discovered Pontohi pygmy seahorse.

Sardine Reef is a popular dive spot, which ironically isn’t home to any sardines. However, you will see a stunning reef covered in huge sea fans, soft corals, enormous orange elephant ear sponges and schools of fusiliers, surgeonfish, trevallies, rainbow runners, sweetlips and bannerfish. In fact, at this site, the fish are so abundant. You may hear the unique sound of “fish thunder” – the surprisingly loud sound of a large quantity of fish moving in synchronicity. Other dives in Dampier Strait include Chicken Reef, Kerupiar Island, and Friwin Bonda.

Dives over these 2 days will also include Cape Kri, which holds the impressive record of 374 fish species identified during one 90-minute dive, Otdima Reef, and Blue Magic. This is a submerged seamount where you may encounter giant manta rays. Saonek Jetty or Jembeser Jetty are ideal for night dives; you’ll have the chance to see bobtail squid, octopus, stargazers, ghost pipefish, toadfish and lots of nudibranchs at these sites. If you’d also like to see some of the incredible animal life above water, take a hike in the jungle to see Papua’s famous Birds of Paradise. There will be an extra charge for this tour and it is dependent on the weather and all of the guest’s preferences.

Depending on the weather conditions and flight times the next day, the last full day of the cruise will include 1 or 2 dives at one of the above sites. After the dives, you’ll cruise back to Sorong.

 

Day 12: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: Embarkation in Sorong around 12 PM. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’. In an archipelago of over 1,500 small islands, there are four main islands or ‘kings’– Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool. The majority of Raja Ampat is a Marine Protected Area. These islands usually experience varying visibility depending on the weather conditions and warm water around 27-30C (81-86F).

 

Day 2-5: Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between! In this area, you also may have the opportunity to take a ride to a pearl farm and also explore caves and rock formations.

 

Day 6: 30 miles south of Misool is a beautiful archipelago where we’ll dive off of Pulau Koon or Pulau Pisang. The corals are extremely healthy in this remote area and are full of life. You’ll see giant elephant ears, swirling schools of a wide variety of fish, mantas, and turtles.

 

Day 7: Take a trip on land in the morning to an incredible waterfall and enjoy the stunning above-water scenery. There will be plenty of photo opportunities, so don’t forget your camera! In the afternoon take a relaxing dive near Momon Bay.

 

Day 8: Triton Bay is the next stop and is one of the most spectacular dives, you’ll experience in Raja Ampat.

Larry’s Heaven honors the legendary Larry Smith, who spent years diving and studying the marine creatures of Indonesia. His very last dive was in this area, which boasts the world record for having the most different species in one area. Fields of black coral are home to such densely packed biodiversity you may think you’re in the middle of an incredible dream. Wrass, gobies, grouper, bump heads, turtles, and millions of Fusiliers will surround you as you glide through the water…and that’s just the beginning of the list.

 

Day 10-11: Spend 2 days diving around Aiduma, Orembate, and Faukate (Lauzaro). These are incredible sites for searching for macro species and are especially exciting for dive photographers.

Day 8: Triton Bay is the next stop and is one of the most spectacular dives, you’ll experience in Raja Ampat. The diversity of the coral and marine life is heaven for divers and, thanks to very little fishing in this area, are healthy and plentiful. Your first dive here will be at 7th Heaven where you will probably see giant trevallies, barracuda, giant turtles, grunts, and even mantas and walking sharks.

GT Rock, which is named after the multitude of giant trevallies found there is a beautiful dive as well. Swim with the hundreds of grunts, red snappers, huge sweet lips and tuna that feed around the rock.

 

Day 9: Still, in Triton Bay, we’ll continue to discover how extraordinary the area’s biodiversity really is. Larry’s Heaven honors the legendary Larry Smith, who spent years diving and studying the marine creatures of Indonesia. His very last dive was in this area, which boasts the world record for having the most different species in one area. Fields of black coral are home to such densely packed biodiversity you may think you’re in the middle of an incredible dream. Wrass, gobies, grouper, bump heads, turtles, and millions of Fusiliers will surround you as you glide through the water…and that’s just the beginning of the list.

 

Day 10-11: Spend 2 days diving around Aiduma, Orembate, and Faukate (Lauzaro). These are incredible sites for searching for macro species and are especially exciting for dive photographers. You’ll find an incredible variety of reef fish, including schools of large blue-ring angelfish, clownfish, striped angelfish and lionfish. You might also spot dolphins enjoying leaping and dancing through the waves.

 

Day 12: After a last breakfast and goodbyes with the crew, it’s time to disembark in Sorong.

Note: The itinerary is subject to variation depending on weather conditions, flight schedules or any other variables.

The remote and unspoiled islands of  Adunara, Lembata, Pantar and Alor are East of Flores

They are probably one of Indonesia’s best-kept diving secrets. From incredible muck dive sites to impressive walls, crystal clear water to black volcanic sand sites, into stronger currents with thousands of reef fish. The Indonesian government has recently agreed to protect the area in order to secure a safe route for migrating cetaceans which pass through the straits on their migration to the feeding grounds in the deep waters of the Banda Sea.

 

Day 1: Embarkation at Maumere. Check dive at Maumere, which is one of the best muck dives in the world.

Day 2 -7: 3-4 dives per day, including night dive where possible

Day 8: Disembarkation at Maumere

 

Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so.

The last dive will be on the penultimate day of the trip at around 4 pm. Divers are recommended to wait for 24hours before flying after the last dive.

 

Dive Areas:

Adunara Island. Eastern Flores has some famous dive sites such as Magic Log where ribbon eels and frogfish are common. The very rare weedy scorpionfish (Rhinopias) has been found here, as has the wonderpus octopus. There is still a lot of unchartered territories to discover in this region.

Lembata Island. Is also well worth diving exploration. Schools of fusiliers, angelfish and many different parrotfish species are common. Gorgonian sea fans, host pygmy seahorses. Surrounding seas of Lamalera could also hold cetacean surprises.

Alor. Dive spot-names like “The Bullet” give some hints what diving in Alor is like Big staff and currents, which are sometimes so strong that you have to pay attention. But do not worry: our divemasters know how to adjust the diving to the abilities of their groups. Don’t forget we also provide the Enos transmitter for your localization in the unlikely case you miss the group!

As the direction and intensity of the currents change quite often, you may have had a relaxing dive in the morning and find the same spot in the afternoon resembling a washing machine.

The strait between Pantar and Alor acts like a gigantic jet propelling waters from the Flores Sea in the north to the Savu Sea in the south. You will only find similar conditions around Komodo.

 

More info:

Water temperature: 22-28°C. A 3mm shorty should be sufficient for Flores but it can cool down a lot in the Pantar strait; a 5mm shorty is advisable over a 3mm full suit.

Airport: Maumere (MAF). International flight to Jakarta or Bali and then domestic flight to Maumere.

Your journey with Tiare starts when you arrived at the airport where our crew will welcome you upon arrival. On your disembarkation day, you will be transferred back to the airport to say our goodbyes.

 

Day 1: Maumere – Embarkation. Check Dive.

Day 2-11: We offer 3-4 dives daily, including a night dive, if possible. When crossing, only 2 dives a day can be scheduled.

Day 12: After breakfast on board, it’s time to check out and leave the Tiaré behind. Departing from Labuan Bajo.

The remote and unspoiled islands of Adunara, Lembata, Pantar, and Alor are East of Flores.

They are probably one of Indonesia’s best-kept diving secrets. From incredible muck dive sites to impressive walls, crystal clear water to black volcanic sand sites, into stronger currents with thousands of reef fish. The Indonesian government has recently agreed to protect the area in order to secure a safe route for migrating cetaceans which pass through the straits on their migration to the feeding grounds in the deep waters of the Banda Sea.

 

About the diving:

Adunara Island: Eastern Flores has some famous dive sites such as Magic Log where ribbon eels and frogfish are common. The very rare weedy scorpionfish (Rhinopias) has been found here, as has the Wonderpus octopus. There is still a lot of unchartered territories to discover in this region.

 

Lembata Island: Is also well worth diving exploration. Schools of fusiliers, angelfish and many different parrotfish species are common. Gorgonian sea fans, host pygmy seahorses. Surrounding seas of Lamalera could also hold cetacean surprises.

 

Alor: Dive spot-names like “The Bullet” give some hints on what diving in Alor is like: Big stuff and currents, which are sometimes so strong that you have to pay attention. But do not worry, our divemasters know how to adjust the diving to the abilities of their groups. Don’t forget, we also provide the Enos transmitter for your localization in the unlikely case you miss the group!

As the direction and intensity of the currents change quite often, you may have had a relaxing dive in the morning and find the same spot in the afternoon resembling a washing machine.

The strait between Pantar and Alor acts like a gigantic jet propelling waters from the Flores Sea in the north to the Savu Sea in the south. You will only find similar conditions around Komodo.

 

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a Rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for its macro life, but there is also an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters, and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Dive Areas: Castle Rock, Crystal Rock, Karang Makassar (Manta, Manta, Manta), Cannibal Rock, The Cauldron, The Shot Gun, Cannibal Rock, more than 40 diving sites.

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

About Komodo:

Komodo National  Park

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be face to face with a dinosaur?

In Komodo, your dream can come true. Komodo and Rinca are the only places where we can still find these Komodo Dragons in the wild.

These small, brown scorched-earth islands fringed with sandy beaches are lapped by the clear waves of the national park, where you may even see the dragons patrolling the beach or viewing you from a high rocky outcrop.

Below the surface, there will be many more wonderful creatures you may have never seen before in your life, like the hobbit worm or a rhynopia, a ladybug or skeleton shrimp.

Komodo is not only famous for it macro life, there is an abundance of fish and corals due to its mineral-rich waters. Don’t be surprised to see some beautiful pelagic, like sharks or mantas.

The water is not always warm, in fact, it can be decidedly cool. The seas are not always calm, the currents can rage but the abundance of pelagics, more critters and interesting macro-action than you could imagine, the dazzling colors and diversity, make scuba diving here truly legendary.

Due to its geographic location, right in between the Indian Ocean and the Flores Sea in the North, we can expect stronger currents.

 

Note: Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so. Order of dive areas visited may change driven by local regulation.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.

There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 3: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 4: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 5: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

  

Day 6: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

 

Note: This itinerary may vary depending on weather conditions, flight timetables, and other unforeseen circumstances.

Tiaré, a luxurious yet traditional Indonesian Phinisi will take you on a journey of discovery to some of the most stunning diving spots in the world. Tiaré offers a spectacular experience for divers as well as non-divers, with bright airy cabins, spacious bathrooms and a large front deck where you can socialize, eat under the stars or just relax in the Indonesian sunshine. the ship offers 8 cabins for up to 16 guests.
All indoor and outdoor living areas, decks, and cabins are made with antique teak salvaged from old Joglos, which not only gives the feel of “real Indonesia”, but has helped to reduce the use of Indonesia’s disappearing rainforests.
There is also a separate diving deck with hot water showers to warm up after a night dive. Experience diving in the rich waters of the Indonesian archipelago and meet people from the many different cultures on the diverse Indonesian islands that you would never have the opportunity to see while staying in more tourist-heavy areas.

Day 1: After boarding Tiaré, you’ll embark on the journey of a lifetime about 12 o’clock from Sorong into the waters of Raja Ampat. Raja Ampat means ‘Four Kings’, referring to the 4 main islands of Waigeo, Salawati, Batanta, Misool (there are actually over 1,500 small islands). Most of Raja Ampat is protected by the Indonesian government, so you can expect pristine corals and an abundance of sea life. Of course, visibility can vary depending on the weather conditions, but water temperatures stay around 27-30°c (81- 86°f).

 

Days 2: Misool, Raja Ampat Misool Island, one of the ‘Four Kings’ is in the south of Raja Ampat and is surrounded by a multitude of smaller islands to the southeast. The sites in this area are famous for their colorful soft corals and sea fans swaying in the warm waters of the reef. You’ll dive for 3 days in the Misool area, including Boo Windows, Yuliet and Romeo, Fiabecet, Wayilbatan, Daram Area, Pele, and Sagof/Wagmab/Farondi Areas. You’ll encounter an incredible range of sea life during these dives, from turtles, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, mantas, barracudas and everything in between!

 

Day 3: On day 6, you’ll move on to Penemu, an island west of Waigeo with a selection of dives sites, the most famous being Melissa’s Garden. Shallow hard coral reefs here are home to hundreds of anthias dance and also sea snakes. The long, submerged seamount at Takat Penemu has a beautiful coral garden sloping to where schools of fish hang out in the currents. Have a peek inside the large cup corals where Wobbegong sharks like to sleep, and visit Penemu Wall, My Reef and Harto’s Reef for more incredible sights. At Penemu Island, you will also have the chance to stop and climb to the highest point of the island to admire the entire lagoon from above.

 

Day 4: Expect 4 incredible dives today in Wofoh and Aljui Bay. Your first 2 dives are at Wofoh Black Forest, which is named after the deep ridge covered in large bushes of black corals and is quite a unique sight. This shallow reef is covered in large purple soft corals, leather corals, and healthy staghorn hard corals. Search the site’s wall for nudibranchs and even Wobbegong sharks resting on the many ledges.

Your 3rd and 4th dives will be in Aljui Bay on the west of Waigeo Island in an area also known as Sel Pele. This area has a pearl farm, which we can organize tours to, but also has two jetties at the pearl farm that have created great artificial reefs for amazing diving. Underneath the pearl farm, you can find wobbegong sharks, stonefish, hundreds of schooling scads, ghost pipefish, juvenile batfish and plenty more. At Channel Island and White Arrow, the walls and slopes full of soft corals and sea fans make the perfect home for pygmy seahorses and a huge variety of nudibranchs. To end the day on a high, your night dive at Cendana Fuel Jetty is probably the best of the whole cruise. Search for velvet fish, ghost pipefish, wasp fish, coconut octopus, Helmut flying gurnards and even the incredible walking shark.

 

Day 5: Gam Area

Today, you will either visit the Gam Island area. Some of the possibilities for dive sites are Citrus Ridge offering gorgeous white sand contrasting the yellow and orange corals that teem with glassfish, sweetlips, and batfish. Moving on to Takat Yanggelo (north & south) you’ll see similar species as well as huge schools of snappers, barracuda and fusiliers. Dive with black and white tip sharks at Wobbegong and also have a search for the tricky blue-ringed octopus.

Still, between the 2 islands, Mangrove Ridge is a ridge extending out from Yanggelo covered in black corals and huge sea fans. Explore the shallows of the mangroves where many species of juvenile fish, cardinalfish, and archerfish hide in the roots of the trees.

  

Day 6: Say goodbye to your crew over one last Tiaré breakfast and then head on to the airport in Sorong for your outbound flight.

Forgotten Islands & Banda Sea

Is one of our more remote destinations where time seems to stand still.

The Forgotten islands are part of the Maluku Tenggara which  is a 1.000 km chain of archipelagos running from East Timor to Western Papua. Undeveloped, distant from population centers and far off any beaten path, these “Forgotten Islands” have been largely isolated from the rest of the world. If you don’t like to run into any other liveaboard cruise you  could  imagine yourself as the only person in the world on one of old trade ships. Then this is the route for you. We will be diving some unexplored reefs. But also visit an area  where we have spotted hammerhead schooling. Ever seen an active volcano? We can guarantee you an explosion. We like to hang around for the sun to set, so we can see the red hot lava roll down the slope into the water.

We plan four expeditions each year in November/April. One itinerary starts in Maumere (Flores) and ends in Saumlaki, in the Tanimbar Islands, and another trip returns along the same or a similar route. Detailed itineraries in this area may be subject to change according to weather and diving conditions and other factors.

Forgotten Islands & Banda Sea 

Is one of our more remote destinations where time seems to stand still.

 

Day 1: Embarkation at Saumlaki. Check dive at Saumlaki, which is one of the best muck dives in the world.

Day 2 -11: 3-4 dives per day, including night dive where possible

Dive Sites: Laha, Nusa Laut, Suanggi, Banda Neira, Banda Islands

Day 12: Disembarkation at Ambon

 

The Forgotten Islands are part of the Maluku Tenggara which is a 1.000 km chain of archipelagos running from East Timor to Western Papua. Undeveloped, distant from population centers and far off any beaten path, these “Forgotten Islands” have been largely isolated from the rest of the world. If you don’t like to run into any other liveaboard cruise you could imagine yourself as the only person in the world on one of old trade ships. Then this is the route for you. We will be diving some unexplored reefs. But also visit an area where we have spotted hammerhead schooling. Ever seen an active volcano? We can guarantee you an explosion. We like to hang around for the sun to set, so we can see the red hot lava roll down the slope into the water.

 

Please note that the itineraries are examples only. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances require us to do so.

The last dive will be on the penultimate day of the trip at around 4 pm. Divers are recommended to wait for 24hours before flying after the last dive.
